Chapter 478: Nangong Yaoyao: A man actually practices charm!

Meng Xiaochun led Lu Changsheng to a side hall on Sky Spider Peak.

“Xiao Chan, how have you been all these years?”

After Lu Changsheng sat down, he spoke, expressing his concern.

He had previously asked Nangong Mili about Meng Xiaochun and her daughter, Nangong Yaoyao.

But the other party was unwilling to say much, basically glossing over it.

Moreover, even if he knew Meng Xiaochun was doing well, now that they met, he should still show concern.

“Master has been very good to me.”

Meng Xiaochun’s jade hands were crystal clear as she poured tea and water for Lu Changsheng, explaining her general situation.

After she returned that year, although Master knew about the Locking Love Gu, she did not blame her and still treated her like her own daughter.

The only thing worth mentioning was that she had another Junior Sister, and she had to take care of her Junior Sister daily.

When speaking of this Junior Sister, Meng Xiaochun hesitated, wanting to tell Lu Changsheng that this was his daughter.

But Master did not want her to reveal this matter to anyone.

Once Lu Changsheng knew about this, it might anger Master, and even cause Master to harbor killing intent towards Lu Changsheng.

Furthermore, Nangong Yaoyao had also subtly probed her about her father in earlier years.

If Lu Changsheng suddenly appeared, it might have a significant impact on Nangong Yaoyao’s life.

“Junior Sister.”

Lu Changsheng heard this and knew she was talking about Nangong Yaoyao.

He pondered for a moment, then said, “Yaoyao… how is she?”

“Hmm!?”

Meng Xiaochun was stunned and said with some surprise, “Lu Lang, you know… Nangong Yaoyao?”

“Yes.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, stating frankly, “This trip to Jin Country, on one hand, I wanted to see you, and on the other hand, I also wanted to see Nangong Yaoyao.”

Meng Xiaochun felt a surge of joy and sweetness in her heart upon hearing that Lu Changsheng came to see her on this trip.

Just as she was about to continue speaking, a clear, melodious, and pleasant voice suddenly came from outside.

“Xiao Chan Sister!”

A graceful young woman, veiled in purple gauze, floated in.

She wore an exquisitely crafted long dress of purple brocade, her beautiful dark hair softly tied up, flowing like a waterfall, giving her a fresh and ethereal beauty.

Although her delicate and beautiful face was half-hidden by a light purple veil, revealing only a pair of eyes like stars, it still could not conceal her peerless charm, and even added a touch of mysterious, hazy beauty to her.

“Buzz!”

Upon seeing this young woman, a profound Bloodline sensation instantly surged in Lu Changsheng’s heart.

He felt as if, in the depths of the unseen, a sense of closeness had grown between them.

He knew she was his daughter, Nangong Yaoyao!

Thinking that he had never met or cared for her since her birth so many years ago, his heart was filled with shame, guilt, and heartache.

His mind stirred, and his Magic Power circulated, further concealing his aura slightly, lest Nangong Yaoyao sense his Bloodline aura.

After decades of not seeing her, he still didn’t know how this daughter felt about him, a father she had never met.

Anticipation, disgust, or hatred?

So, it was better to slowly get acquainted first, and then decide when to reveal the truth.

“Eh, Xiao Chan Sister, is this your friend?”

Nangong Yaoyao looked at Lu Changsheng, sizing him up, and spoke.

Her sudden arrival was, of course, not a coincidence.

She had just heard a report that her Xiao Chan Sister was holding a man and calling him Lu Lang, which naturally made her curious and want to come see what was going on.

But for some reason, seeing this elegant and handsome middle-aged man who smiled faintly at her, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

However, this inexplicable familiarity did not make Nangong Yaoyao instinctively feel close; instead, it made her wary of Lu Changsheng.

“How could I feel close to him? Is it a charm technique?”

The young woman was very clear about her personality.

Besides her mother and Xiao Chan Sister, everyone else was an outsider.

She could never feel close to a stranger she met for the first time!

Through the profound sensation of her Cultivation Technique and the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body, she sensed a hint of charm from Lu Changsheng.

“Hmph, a grown man actually Cultivates charm techniques!”

Although Nangong Yaoyao did not reject men Cultivating charm techniques.

But in his words and actions, there were traces of charm techniques, clearly not a good person!

Perhaps Xiao Chan Sister was influenced by this person’s charm!

At this moment, Nangong Yaoyao had already labeled Lu Changsheng as a villain.

Lu Changsheng did not know that he had left a bad impression on his daughter right from their first meeting.

Mainly, the effects of the Immortal Appearance Art, Peach Blossom Gu, and the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body had perfectly integrated into every part of his body.

Unless he completely sealed them with the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone, and then used a Magic Treasure for disguise, he simply couldn’t fully conceal his charm.

“Xiao Chan…”

He transmitted a message to Meng Xiaochun, signaling her to let Nangong Yaoyao chat here, but not to reveal his identity.

“Yes, this is my friend, Yaoyao, you can call him Senior Lu.”

Meng Xiaochun hesitated slightly, then stepped forward, taking Nangong Yaoyao’s arm and sitting down beside her.

“Nangong Yaoyao greets Senior Lu.”

Although Nangong Yaoyao had a bad first impression of this Senior Lu, she still looked around, smiling charmingly, making others feel good about her.

“Miss Nangong Yaoyao.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then felt a bit at a loss for words.

After all, the father and daughter had never met, and their living environments were completely different. Even if he tried to find a topic, he didn’t know where to start.

But thankfully, Meng Xiaochun was there.

She spoke up to briefly introduce Lu Changsheng’s situation to Nangong Yaoyao, stating that he was her good friend and had just come to Immortal Spider Bazaar to see her.

“So, Senior Lu and Xiao Chan Sister met in Jiang Country, did you? Is Senior Lu also a Cultivator from Jiang Country?”

Nangong Yaoyao’s starry eyes sparkled, very clear, giving off a lively, cute, and innocent vibe, making people subconsciously relax their guard and feel a sense of closeness.

“Something like that.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded, noticing a hint of charm in the young woman’s words and actions.

“What do you mean, ‘something like that’?”

The young woman’s delicate lips, like flower petals, pouted slightly, her voice sounding somewhat like a spoiled child.

“I used to be, but we Cultivators wander the world, so it’s hard to say which country’s Cultivator I am.”

Lu Changsheng saw that this little girl was testing him, and he said with a calm and natural smile.

“Senior Lu wanders the world, so you must have been to many places. Besides Jiang Country and Jin Country, where else have you been?”

Nangong Yaoyao was like a curious young woman eager for knowledge about everything, her beautiful eyes shimmering as if flowing with admiration and adoration, making one dizzy and a bit light-headed.

Even though Lu Changsheng knew that this little girl’s words and actions carried a hint of charm, such gazes still gave him a very satisfying feeling.

“Jiang Country, Yue Country, Liang Country, Yuan Country, I’ve been to all of them…”

Lu Changsheng began to talk nonsense with a straight face.

Anyway, he hadn’t been there, and Nangong Yaoyao certainly hadn’t either.

With his knowledge and experience, it was no problem to fool a little girl.

The three chatted and laughed, with Nangong Yaoyao asking most of the questions, Lu Changsheng answering, and Meng Xiaochun adding a few supplementary remarks.

Throughout the process, Nangong Yaoyao seemed full of curiosity, but she was subtly probing for information about Lu Changsheng.

If Lu Changsheng hadn’t been a Core Formation Cultivator with a clear Divine Soul and some experience, he would have truly been led by the nose by this daughter.

“If this were a junior of the same age, wouldn’t my daughter be walking them like a dog?”

Lu Changsheng mused inwardly, at a loss for how to evaluate this daughter.

She was intelligent, mischievous, good at disguising herself, and knew how to use her strengths.

But thinking that this daughter always smiled so charmingly at everyone, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a little displeased.

“Senior Lu, Xiao Chan Sister, there are still things to do in the Bazaar, I’ll go first, and we can chat later.”

After about half an hour, Nangong Yaoyao stood up and said.

She had somewhat figured out that Lu Changsheng was impenetrable, and with Xiao Chan Sister covering for him, it was difficult for her to get information about him.

It was better to stop here, investigate the general situation, and then later gossip with Meng Xiaochun about Lu Changsheng and remind Meng Xiaochun about his situation.

“It was a pleasure meeting you, young friend. I don’t have any gifts, but this is a small token of my regard.”

Lu Changsheng took out three Talismans from his storage ring and gave them to Nangong Yaoyao.

He had prepared a gift for his daughter, the ‘Fragrant Gu’, for this trip.

However, this was their first meeting, so it was naturally impossible to give such a precious gift.

Otherwise, even a fool would see that there was something wrong.

“This is… a Third-Grade Talisman!”

Nangong Yaoyao looked at the Talismans before her, somewhat surprised.

Although she had a Core Formation mother and was not lacking in Medicinal Pills or Talismans, and had top-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

But a Third-Grade Talisman was still very precious to her.

“I happen to be a Talisman Master, and I usually draw some Talismans, so young friend, just accept them.”

Lu Changsheng’s face was elegant and handsome, and he said with a smile.

“Nangong Yaoyao thanks Senior Lu.”

Nangong Yaoyao’s expression was a bit hesitant, then she smiled brightly, accepted the Talismans, thanked him, and left.

“Hoo!”

Seeing Nangong Yaoyao leave, Lu Changsheng suddenly let out a long breath.

To be honest, facing this daughter just now, his mind was still a bit tense.

During the process, he wanted to ask her about her views on her father, her future plans, her views on the Righteous Path and Demonic Path, and so on, but he was afraid that the young woman would become vigilant, so he ultimately did not speak.

“Lu Lang, Nangong Yaoyao probably came because she was worried about my situation…”

Meng Xiaochun also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lu Changsheng.

She had been worried that the father and daughter would reveal something while chatting, and then reconcile.

It wasn’t that she was afraid of them reconciling.

On one hand, she wasn’t sure what Nangong Yaoyao’s attitude towards Lu Changsheng was.

On the other hand, she was also worried that when her Master returned, she would learn that Lu Changsheng and Nangong Yaoyao had reunited, and thus develop killing intent towards Lu Changsheng.

“Very good.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled softly.

In his early years, he had worried whether his daughter would be bullied in the Five Poison Sect.

Now it seemed that not many people could bully this daughter.

And with Nangong Mili present, ordinary Advanced Cultivators would not bully the weak.

“Xiao Chan, tell me about Nangong Yaoyao, please?”

Lu Changsheng squeezed Meng Xiaochun’s slender hand, which was like white jade, then took out Spirit Eye Spring from his storage ring, brewed another pot of spiritual tea, and spoke.

He had wanted to ask about Nangong Yaoyao’s situation just now, but she had happened to come over, which meant his understanding of this daughter was still limited.

“Nangong Yaoyao has been very well-behaved and intelligent since childhood, learning everything quickly…”

Meng Xiaochun nodded gently, telling Lu Changsheng about Nangong Yaoyao’s personality, temper, hobbies, and some interesting anecdotes from her childhood.

At the same time.

Bazaar Management Center.

“Lu Wuming, Foundation Establishment Ninth Level…”

Nangong Yaoyao looked at a name on the Bazaar registration roster, lost in thought.

Afterward, she used the jade slip and the identity jade token the other party had processed to check his movements after entering the Bazaar.

When she saw Lu Changsheng enter the Bazaar and head to an intelligence shop, her starry eyes immediately narrowed slightly.

A moment later, Nangong Yaoyao arrived at this intelligence shop and asked what intelligence information Lu Changsheng had purchased there earlier.

“Purchased my intelligence information?”

Upon hearing this news, Nangong Yaoyao’s expression immediately turned surprised and astonished.

She hadn’t expected that the first thing the other party would do upon arriving at the Bazaar was to purchase her intelligence information.

“Who exactly is he?”

Nangong Yaoyao thought of the inexplicable sense of intimacy she felt when she saw him.

And when the other party chatted with her, he always had a slight smile, spoke gently, and was full of patience, like a broad-minded Senior with a humble disposition, her eyes thoughtful.

But thinking of the other party’s relationship with her Junior Sister Xiao Chan, she shook her head again.

“Lu Wuming.”

A moment later, Nangong Yaoyao’s starry eyes sparkled, and she silently recited the name.

If before, her curiosity was due to Meng Xiaochun’s relationship with the other party, then now, it was her own curiosity about Lu Changsheng’s identity information; she wanted to know what the other party had come to Immortal Spider Bazaar for.

The next day.

Lu Changsheng was thinking about how he could find an opportunity to talk to Nangong Yaoyao.

But after much thought, there really was no good reason; it would be too abrupt.

He then went strolling with Meng Xiaochun in Immortal Spider Bazaar, experiencing the local customs and traditions.

He had been rushing the entire journey to Jin Country and hadn’t stopped to experience the situation here yet.

Walking on the street, aside from most Cultivators having an improper aura, some full of Evil Qi, some full of Evil Qi, some full of bloody Qi, others were largely similar to Cultivators in Jiang Country.

This was normal; Jin Country was a Demonic Path Cultivation World, and most people here Cultivated Demonic Technique.

But Cultivating Demonic Technique did not mean that these people were all bloodthirsty or had mental issues.

During this process, Meng Xiaochun also introduced Lu Changsheng to some differences between the two countries.

“Jin Country does not prohibit Cultivation Technique; both Demonic Path Cultivation Technique and Righteous Path Cultivation Technique exist.”

“It’s just that relatively speaking, more people Cultivate Demonic Technique; on one hand, the environment is like this, and on the other hand, Demonic Technique Cultivation is faster, suitable for Loose Cultivators.”

Meng Xiaochun, in a purple dress, had an exquisite, dreamlike beauty that made people feel a sense of enchantment just by looking at her.

“Mm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, knowing that compared to Righteous Path Cultivation Technique, Demonic Technique generally had a much faster Cultivation speed.

However, it would be much harder when facing a Breakthrough in Realm.

Moreover, for Demonic Technique, forming something like a Perfect Dao Foundation or a High Grade Golden Core would be several levels more difficult than with Righteous Path Cultivation Technique.

However, for Loose Cultivators, these were simply not a concern.

“However, not all Demonic Technique can be Cultivated freely in Jin Country; many Demonic Technique are also prohibited.”

Meng Xiaochun continued, stating that Demonic Technique that involved killing to improve Cultivation, even in Jin Country, was not allowed to be Cultivated.

After all, for Demonic Path forces, both Mortals and Cultivators were resources; how could they allow others to kill wantonly?

If a certain force did such things on its own territory, other forces would turn a blind eye.

However, aside from Loose Cultivators, very few people Cultivated such Cultivation Technique.

Because under normal circumstances, only Core Formation Breakthrough to Nascent Soul would involve a Heart Demon Tribulation and Lightning Tribulation.

But Cultivating such Cultivation Technique, Foundation Establishment Breakthrough to Core Formation, could potentially trigger a Heart Demon Tribulation and Lightning Tribulation.

Therefore, Cultivating such Cultivation Technique and wanting to Breakthrough to Core Formation was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Only some desperate Loose Cultivators would Cultivate such Cultivation Technique.

“Such Cultivation Technique are usually released on purpose by certain forces, right?”

Lu Changsheng said casually.

Just like how High Grade and above Cultivation Technique in Jiang Country were controlled by the Four Great Immortal Sects and Family forces, making it difficult for Loose Cultivators to obtain them, he didn’t believe Jin Country hadn’t done such things.

“Mm, like Heavenly Corpse Sect often releases some Cultivation Technique; if someone Cultivates such Cultivation Technique, they will be killed and refined into corpses by Heavenly Corpse Sect in the future.”

Meng Xiaochun nodded and said.

“Hehe.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head with a smile.

“Junior Sister Xiao Chan.”

Just then, a purple-robed girl floated over, then saw Lu Changsheng and said with surprise, “Senior Lu, you’re here too.”

“Junior Sister Xiao Chan, I just have something I need you to handle… As for Senior Lu, I’ll take him around.”

The girl was still veiled in purple gauze, and her beautiful purple dress made many Cultivators in the Bazaar show respect, admiration, and affection, yet they dared not stare too much, fearing to desecrate the beauty.

Of course, it was also because in earlier years, some Cultivators with lewd appearances had stared at Nangong Yaoyao, resulting in their eyes being gouged out and them being thrown out of the Bazaar.

“Hmm?”

Meng Xiaochun heard this and looked at the obedient and lovely girl in front of her, her heart skipped a beat, suspecting that the other party had realized something.

After all, the other party had been intelligent and mischievous since childhood, and now with Lu Changsheng suddenly appearing, it was normal for her to be suspicious.

“Xiao Chan, you go first; I’ll just chat with Nangong Yaoyao.”

Lu Changsheng transmitted his voice to Meng Xiaochun.

“Lu Lang, Nangong Yaoyao might have guessed your identity information; be a little careful. I also don’t know what Nangong Yaoyao’s attitude towards you is.”

Meng Xiaochun transmitted her voice, then nodded to Nangong Yaoyao and flew towards Sky Spider Peak.

“In that case, I’ll trouble Nangong Yaoyao.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the purple-robed girl in front of him and chuckled.

How could he not see that something was off with the other party?

In fact, in his opinion, this so-called chance encounter was actively created by the girl.

However, since the other party wanted to chat with him, he didn’t mind doing so.

“What would Senior Lu like to look at?”

The purple-robed girl’s starry eyes blinked, bright and sparkling, like the most brilliant stars in the night sky.

“Guest follows host, just wander around.”

Lu Changsheng smiled.

The two walked on the street.

“How long does Senior Lu plan to stay in Immortal Spider Bazaar this time?”

Nangong Yaoyao asked casually.

“It might be some time; I’m not sure of the exact duration.”

Lu Changsheng said.

“Will Senior invite Junior Sister Xiao Chan to leave with you then?”

The girl glanced at Lu Changsheng and asked.

“That depends on Xiao Chan’s intention.”

Lu Changsheng said casually, then turned his head to examine the girl, asking, “Nangong Yaoyao, have you Cultivated a Charm Cultivation Technique?”

“Nangong Yaoyao has indeed concurrently Cultivated Cultivation Technique in that area, and I didn’t intend to charm Senior.”

Nangong Yaoyao’s beautiful eyes were slightly misty, and she spoke with a hint of grievance.

She thought to herself that the other party’s methods were indeed extraordinary, to actually see through her charming traces.

One must know that she possessed the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body, and her charming was traceless.

After speaking, she looked at Lu Changsheng, tilted her head, and said adorably, “I see Senior Lu also seems to have Cultivated a Charm Cultivation Technique?”

“???”

Lu Changsheng was stunned.

But thinking about his current situation, saying he had Cultivated a Charm Cultivation Technique was indeed plausible.

“I studied a bit in my early years.”

He chuckled and said, without explaining further.

“It’s quite rare for a man to Cultivate a Charm Cultivation Technique.”

The purple-robed girl’s pink lips curved, and she smiled sweetly.

“Hehe, it just so happened that I obtained a Legacy in that area back then and then studied it for a period of time.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled, “If Nangong Yaoyao is interested, we could certainly exchange and discuss it.”

As they spoke, the two found a restaurant and sat down.

Nangong Yaoyao proactively poured tea and water for Lu Changsheng, but Lu Changsheng raised his hand to stop her, indicating he could do it himself.

With a light flick of his hand, he took out his usual tea set from his storage ring and then skillfully brewed tea.

“This tea was obtained by Lu during his travels in Wu Country. Nangong Yaoyao can have a taste.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

This tea was obtained from Immortal Master Bai Feng back then and belonged to third-order tea leaves.

As for the water, it was from his own Spirit Eye Spring.

Using such tea leaves was partly to smooth over his random words from yesterday.

And also, facing his daughter, he instinctively took out something good.

“This tea is really delicious.”

The girl took a light sip, her eyes curving into crescents.

“If Nangong Yaoyao likes it, I have some more here. Consider it payment for being my guide.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled, handing the remaining small can of tea leaves to the other party.
